Proper Watch. Over Daughters.
Theater People Co-operate.
The services of several volunteer
women social workers will be sought
"by Will F. Spencer, chief probation of
ficer of the Juvenile Court, in the pro
gramme he has planned for suppressing
Immorality among young girls in this
city. He purposes having these women
patrol the downtown streets and visit
the different amusement houses, par
ticularly In the evening, with a view
to keeping such girls off the streets
and out of temptation's way.
At the same time, Mr. Spencer will
undertake to impress upon parents their
full share of responsibility for the con
ditions complained of.
'I am convinced that much of the
blame for the waywardness of young
pirls in this city in many of the cases
That have been reported belongs to the
parents themselves," eaid Air. Spencer
yesterday. "If parents will exercise
closer supervision over their youthful
daughters and know where and with
whom they are spending their evenings
when absent from home, much of the
opportunity for wrong-doing will be
lacking."
L. Ooldstone, resident representative
of the L.os Angeles concern, which owns
the candy concession in the theaters of
this city, yesterday submitted to Mr.
fcpencer his books showing that these
youthful salesmen earn from $7 to $10
a. week in the short time they are em
ployed daily. He assured the Juvenile
Court officials that his company sought
In the employment of these candy vend
ors to engage only good boys who lived
at home. He further said that when
eelllng their wares in the theaters, the
boys were prohibited strictly from con

In the meantime, Bert Travis and

OREGON CITT. Or., Sept. 24. (Spe
cial.) Thomas Moore, 19-year-old son
of John Moore, of Mount Pleasant, is
over fond of other people's motor cars
and the authorities are looking for him,
armed with a warrant for his arrest on
a charge of the theft of the car of Gor

work at the paper mills.
Young Moore was paroled from the
State Training School three months ago
and went to work at flartke's dairy.
After he had earned 914 he drew the
money and stole his father's car and
was not seen again until Saturday
night, though the car was found. Late
Saturday night he appeared at his par
ent's home and demanded the car, but
was stopped by his mother.
The boy next broke into the garage
ef Arthur Smith and stole Smith's car,
but the gasoline supply was against
him and the car was found a short dis
tance from the garage. Moore then
went over to West Linn and took Mc
Kjllican's machine.

"I'm not In sympathy with the or

Every time I go on a job they ask me

Strecht has been In this country 10

Abatement Proceedings Pro
posed by Prosecutor.
PROMINENT MEN INVOLVED
James Henry Hntehhuos.
In the death, September 14 last,
of James Henry Hutchinson, the
West lost one of Its picturesque
trail-blazers and pioneers, who
crossed the plains more than a
half century ago. Mr. Hutchin
son was born in Illinois In 1843.
and crossed the plains with his
parents In 1852, going first to
Cowlitz County, Washington,
where his parents took up a do
nation claim. He came to Ore
gon in the Fall of 1863. where he
settled in the Grande Rondo Val
ley, and engaged extensively In
farming and stockraising.
Besides his widow, whom he
married In 1871, the following
children survive him: Mrs. Peter
E. Laughlln and Mrs. Leroy Lo
max. of Portland: Charles E.
Hutchinson, of North Powder,
Or.; William H. Hutchinson.
James F. Hutchinson and Mrs.
William Dobbin, of Union, Or.;
Mrs. Iva H. Ambrasius and Miss
Laurens C- Hutchinson, of New
York. He is also survived by
three brothers William R-. of
Union, Or.; Frank A., of North
Powder, Or., and Gustavis A., of
Chesaw, Wash.
tals taken in two raids Sunday after
noon in which barricaded doors were
broken down before the games could be
Interrupted. He and the other Ori
entals were fined $10 each.
Robert Watklns didn't think there
were any "cops" around, so he opened
r up out on Union avenue Sunday to
40 miles an hour when Motorcycle Of
ficer Frank Ervin grabbed him. Wat
kins was up for the same offense and
the same speed a week ago, so Judge
Rossman yesterday decreed that he
should stay off his motorcycle for 60
days, pay a fine of fl5 and stay In
jail 10 hours.
Other speeders caught by Ervln paid
fines as follows: Asher Wunkler, $5:
Victor Johnson, $2: Robert Murray. $5.
Arthur Liefer,' a 20-year-old youth of
St. Johns, was on his way to a dance
hall to take his "best glrl"horne when
some friend stopped him and offered
him some liquid refreshments.
It wasn't long before the boy forgot
all about his sweetheart, the dance or
anything else. A patrolman found him
lying on the sidewalk in a stupor.
After a sound lecture by Judge Ross
man on the evils of drinking, the boy
was given his liberty upon his promise
to stay higrh and dry on the wagon in
the future.
It's pretty tough to get fined $10 for
"boozing" when the "cop" breaks in on
you just as you raise the bottle to your
lips, thought Harry Logan and John
Scoggan In Municipal Court yesterday
after they had been fined by the court.
They were in the room of a "stranger"
at the Butte Hotel and were just start
ing to partake of the liquid refresh
ments when Patrolman O'Halloran
broke up the party.
There's no such thing as breaking
away winner in a Sunday afternoon
poker game if a "harness bull" is going
to "sit in" as ah uninvited guest.
A nice sociable game was in progress
in the room of Mart Vandermulen when
a patrolman came upon them. In Mu
nicipal Court yesterday Vandermulen
paid a fine of $35, while $25 fines were
assessed against Albert ..Gustaaon,
Walter Kelly, Jim Paris, Ed Brown and
Louis Gillford.
Russel Smith and Robert McCraken
Accused of Drunkenness In Con
nection With Raid Women
In Question Are Sought.
Determined to stop the illegal sale
of liquor in road houses. District At
torney Evans today Instituted abate
ment proceedings against the own
ers of Claremont Tavern, which
was raided Jointly by a force of depu
ties from the Sheriffs office and the
Police Department, at an early hour
Sunday morning, wnen a quantity of
liquor was seized and a score of per
sons were arrested. This action was
decided upon by Mr. Evans, who says
he has evidence in his possession that
liquor has been unlawfully sold at this
resort almost continuously since the
prohibition law went into effect in this
state.
The District Attorney's office yester
day Issued complaints for the arrest of
Julius B. Wilbur, proprietor of Clare
mont' Tavern; A. K Nishioka and II.
Ono, Japanese servants; Jake Jones and
F. Johnson, waiters, all of whom were
taken into custody in the Sunday morn
ing raid. Wilbur is charged with main
taining a nuisance and the four em
ployes with assisting to maintain a
nuisance.
Prominent Men Involved.
Other complaints were issued, charg
ing Russel Smith and Robert McCrak
en. prominent young men about the
city, with drunkenness under the pro
hibition law. Both were arrested in
the raid. A. T. Brown. 819 Brooklyn
street, and D. V. Wallace, who gave
the Portland Hotel as his residence, are
charged with having liquor in their
possession. They were included among
the visitors at the Tavern when the of
ficers arrived.
Efforts are being made by the Dis
trict Attorney's office to apprehend the
three young women who are known by
the state's prosecutor to have accom
panied Russel Smith. Robert McCraken
and Mr. Smith's brother, M. A. Smith, to
the resort and who were arrested in the
raid. The women gave fictitious names
and addresses, but Mr. Evans said yes
terday that he expected today to be
able satisfactorily to locate the trio.
Women Wanted as Witnesses.
With few exceptions, all of the
women arrested ,ln connection with the
officers' visit gave assumed names and
street addresses. All were released on
furnishing $25 cash bail. They are de
sired by the state as witnesses and
must" either appear when the prelim
inary examination is held or forfeit
their cash deposits.
Complaints against four of the party
arrested the same night In a raid by
the officers on Holly Lodge, charging
each with maintaining or assisting to
maintain a nuisance under the prohi
bition law, were also Issued yesterday.
Those charged with this offense in
connection with Holly Lodge are: Mrs.
C Dudley, proprietress; Ed Holt, who
claims to reside at the Clyde Hotel and
who posed as manager of the resort In
the absence of Mr. Dudley; Patrick
Mellen and Harry Rodau, servants.
The evidence obtained by the officers
against Holly Lodge is admitted not to
be as positive as that found against
Wilbur and Claremont Tavern, but the
District Attorney says his office is in
possession of other evidence that will
serve to pro the character of the
place.

Fate Reveals Clever Bootlegging
Scheme at Pendleton.
PENDLETON, Or, Sept. 24. (Spe
cial.) A broken brake rod, which com
pelled L. M. Davidson, said to be from
Portland, to put his car In a garage,
revealed one of the cleverest bootleg
ging schemes ever worked here. The
body of thenar was discovered' to be a
tank capable of holding several gal
lons of whisky, a little of which re
mained when the officers took it this
morning.
The car body was double, the open
ings being under the pads on arms of
the seats and under the plate In the
rear holding the rear lamp bracket.
The smell of whisky, together with the
indication that the screws on the arm
plates had been frequently used, gave
the thing away.
Davidson is under arrest here.
Mrs. E. Langley, who runs a boarding-house
at Fourth and Main streets.
Is the owner of the car seized at Pen
dleton. Two weeks ago she lent it to
Leroy Davidson, aged 22. who with an

Portland tc Pendleton. She knew noth
ing of any plan to evade the law, she
says, and has not since heard from
Davidson.

The trans-Pacific freight. Mr. Boyer
explained, is largely handled by two
Japanese steamship lines through con
tracts with the Great Northern, the
Northern Paciflc and the Union Pacific
railroads. The fact that these con
tracts expire the present year affords
Portland an opportunity to insist that
railroads entering this city make such
new contracts with the Japanese steam
ship companies as will insure the de
